[HPforGrownups] Half Blood Prince: two sentences missing from UK edition

Hi All,

Dumbledore said to Malfoy (USA and not UK edition):
<<< Nobody would be surprised that you had died in your attempt to kill
me - forgive me, but Lord Voldemort probably expects it.  Nor would the
Death Eaters be surprised that we had captured and killed your mother -
it is what they would do themselves, after all. >>> 

Lynn added:
<<< it really doesn't add something new to the mix.  Narcissa figured
Draco was given the assignment so he would be killed and we know the
Death Eaters aren't very nice people and will kill as Voldemort tells
them to kill. >>>

But I've always assumed that, like us until recently, the Death Eaters
have never once seen a single member of the Order of the Phoenix kill
anyone. So surely they would find Narcissa's death at the hands of the
Order very odd indeed? Unless they are aware of killings that we are not
aware of, or they are all too stupid to adopt another's point-of-view.

Cheers,

Dumbledad.
